It's Christmas time!

I can't say I was great at documenting all the holiday festivities this year, but I did take a few pictures along the way.  We've had such a fun month, it's kinda sad to say goodbye to the season and all the joy it brings.

Here the kiddos are strutting their new jammies from G&G Moon.
J loves to name all the planets whenever he wears these:)

Christmas at the museum

Santa at the ward Christmas dinner:
poor Bri, we thought having Jaden sit with her might help
but as you can see, she had had enough!

Christmas cookie bake-off and gift exchange with the girls:)

Jaden was beyond excited to give us the gift he made for us at preschool.  
He would drop little clues like, "it's not a sock!" or "it's not a snowman!"
Turns out, he made us a sock snowman!  What a cutie.  We love it.
He was so proud of the wrapping paper and card he designed too.  Love that boy so much.

We hosted the annual ugly sweater party this year.  
We had so much fun putting it together, and had a blast!

everyone looked fabulous!

and the food was delicious:)


We played the Cutler Christmas edition of minute-to-win-it.
events included: snowball toss, Santa's cotton beard face, blind cookie decorating, oh Christmas tree decorating, facing the gingerbread man, stacking the tree, unwrapping challenge, nut-stacker, Christmas bag surprise, tearing up the Christmas tree, snowman stack, Christmas jingles, and Christmas card stuffing
It was hilarious and got very competitive!

After a white elephant gift exchange, we took some group shots.
We love this bunch and had such a fun time!

It took a bit to get the kids down, but they slept great throughout the party.  
They loved playing with the photo props the next morning.
J wanted me to decorate him like a Christmas tree:)

Love the pic of the children in their pj's and all the other fun pictures. I can see how the party was a huge success. Congrats on being such a wonderful family.

I think your costumes were great. I super love the children's expressions in the pj pic. Jaden is a hoot as a tree. Children are so incredible how they think things through and have such pure hearts. Love it! Cody looks like one of Santa's helpers in the tights, etc. So funny! Love you all!
